Capítulo 58: Disrespectful to Refuse
Editor: Atlas Studios
Puff, puff, puff!
Blue marks appeared around Blood Red Sky Ghost and it quickly circled around it before forming a huge blue cocoon. Blue marks kept slashing on its body and blood splashed wildly.
The hands of the sky ghost waved wildly, but it was useless. The flesh and blood on its body, which had not regrown much, was broken again and was soon blown away.
And every time it wanted to recover with the power of the sea of blood, it was blocked by the blue bird.
It had only been two or three breaths since the Blue Luan's appearance, but the Blood Red Sky Ghost had already turned back into how he appeared when he first emerged from the sea of blood. There was only a huge blood crystal skeleton left and except for the skull, there was no flesh on its body.
And those blood ghosts surging over like bees from a distance collapsed and disintegrated before they could come closer, as they had lost the support of the magic.
"Damn it!"
The sky ghost shouted and its huge skeleton spun around in the air, intending to dive down into the protection of the sea regardless of everything.
The shadows of the Blue Luan circled faster and there were more and more blue marks in the sky. Not only could the sky ghost not fall, it was also being lifted up and it flew up towards the sky by a gust of wind that was created by the blue marks.
There were loud clanging sounds!
Blue marks slashed at the blood skeleton one after another, making sounds like raindrops drumming rhythmically against banana leaves. It made the blood light on the surface of the skeleton weaken.
With a thick blue mark cutting down, there was a cracking sound and a small crack finally appeared in the skeleton of the sky ghost's arm.
"Stop, I admit defeat!"
The blood light of the sky ghost's eyes shrank and it shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the circling blue marks stopped and a giant blue bird appeared a hundred feet away. Folding its broad wings, it stared at the Sky Ghost Skeleton with its blue eyes shining.
Countless blue marks disappeared and the wind in the sky also gradually stopped!
When the Sky Ghost Skeleton saw this, it breathed out a sigh of relief and its body immediately flew towards the sea of blood and with a 'plop' fell into it.
After a moment, a figure in a black robe shot out. It was Duan Renli.
At the moment, he was pale, and looked a little haggard. It was obvious that the fight just now had drained a lot of his energy.
When the Blue Luan saw this, the blue light on its body flashed and its huge body shrank and Han Li's figure appeared.
They looked at each other.
There was a smile on Han Li's face while Duan Renli's expression looked slightly terrible.
Inside Devil Flame Valley.
In a corner of the valley, the purple bearded man and three other fusion stage cultivators were gathered. Liu Le'er was shrouded in a silver flame and was standing at the other end of the valley.
The few of them were looking up at the sky.
There was a huge blood cloud that almost covered the sky above the canyon, a huge blood banner could be seen faintly, looming and floating ominously. From time to time, captivating rays of blood light shot out.
Liu Le'er was anxious and tense.
The purple bearded man and the others looked relaxed and they would glance at where the girl was from time to time, making her feel even more uneasy.
As the high level cultivators of the sect, they knew clearly how strong this Blood Red Sky Ghost banner was.
This treasure banner was passed down from one of the Patriarchs who had ascended to the Immortal World, Patriarch Bone Flames. It was said that the sealed Sky Ghost inside was the Ghost King captured from the netherworld by an immortal and passed down from generation to generation to the Great Grand Elder. It was usually fed and worshiped with its own blood essence and during this period of time, it had undergone many years of special blood essence refining and was not comparable to an ordinary magic treasure.
Among the many Great Ascension stage cultivators in the Spirit Imperial World, Duan Renli's strength could only be regarded as average, but inside this blood banner space, it was on a completely different level.
That Han Li was capable and strong, but he was doomed the moment he was pulled inside the blood banner.
"It has been almost an hour. I'm afraid that Han Li has become food for the Sky Ghost. This little fox demon is such an eyesore. Why don't we just kill it?" The purple bearded man turned to look at Liu Le'er in the distance and said slowly.
Not only did Han Li take away one of his treasures, he also made a fool out of him in front of Duan Renli. He was unable to get back at Han Li, so he naturally became angry at Liu Le'er.
"Elder Lu, calm down. In my opinion, it's better to wait for Uncle-Master to come out and ask him to decide," the beautiful woman thought for a while before saying.
"I agree with Fairy Shiyi. I've just observed it and that silver flame beside the little fox demon is not to be trifled with. It is able to swallow the Nine Skies Devil Flame and seems to be some kind of mutated true flame. Let's just wait for a while," the hunchback elderly man said thoughtfully.
The one eyed man had his arms crossed, his one eye staring at the huge blood cloud in the sky, seeming to have not heard the others.
When the purple bearded man saw this, he frowned slightly but still nodded.
They did not use a spell to conceal their voices so Liu Le'er naturally heard their conversation. Her small body shivered as she leaned against the rock wall and her usually fair face was drained of color.
Suddenly, the one eyed man spoke.
"It seems like there is a result."
As soon as this statement was made, everyone did not care about anything else and their eyes immediately turned to the sky in unison.
The huge blood cloud rolled down violently, and split in half from the middle, revealing the huge blood banner inside.
In the end, the expression of the four fusion stage cultivators turned strange.
The light on the surface of the huge blood banner was surging, but the huge ghost head on the banner seemed to be dimmer than before.
Before the people could think, the light on the surface of the blood banner flashed and two rays of light rolled out of it, falling on the ground below.
The light disappeared at the same time, and Han Li and Duan Renli's figures appeared as they faced each other. Duan Renli stood expressionlessly with his hands by his sides and looked coldly at Han Li.
Han Li had the faintest trace of a smile on his face, his expression calm.
"Brother!"
Liu Le'er was shocked. Tears filled her eyes in an instant and she rushed towards Han Li.
Perhaps she was a little dazed from being overly worried, exhausted or possibly even because of her injuries but her footsteps were slightly unstable. When the girl ran to Han Li, she seemed to trip over something and flew out.
At this moment, she felt herself being supported by an invisible soft force. Her surroundings blurred and she appeared beside Han Li.
With a flick of Han Li's sleeve, the silver flame around Liu Le'er shrunk and transformed into a silver fire bird that flew back and disappeared into his body.
The girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she suddenly realized that the atmosphere around her was a little strained. She stopped and stood obediently by the side.
Seeing Han Li, who was supposed to be dead, standing in front of them alive and looking calm, made the purple bearded man and the others dumbfounded.
They only regained their senses after a while and looked at one another with curiosity. They wanted to ask about the result, but they did not dare to.
At this moment, Duan Renli slowly spoke.
"Go and bring 50 kilograms of Yin Time Stone."
His tone was gentle and soft, but it was like a thunderclap when it came to the four elders' ears.
Although they had their guesses, they still could not believe it when they heard this.
The meaning of Duan Renli's words were very clear. He had lost.
One of the two Grand Elders of Sky Ghost Sect and a great Great Ascension stage cultivator who could command the winds or rain, were defeated by this seemingly ordinary looking young man in front of them.
Moreover, it was in the sea of blood space in the Blood Red Sky Ghost banner.
"Do you want me to say it a second time?" Duan Renli's voice was still calm.
"Yes!" The purple bearded man and the beautiful woman turned around quickly and flew out of the valley.
"Since Daoist Duan is so generous, it would be disrespectful of me to refuse," Han Li said slowly, with a trace of a smile on his lips.
"You're good," said Duan Renli after he looked at Han Li.
Then, he put away the blood banner with a wave of his hand and turned into a black light. With a flash, it disappeared from the valley.
Not long after.
Cold Fire Sect, in the main hall of Outcloud Peak.
"Although it was expected, this person is definitely not ordinary. However, I didn't expect him to be so powerful that even Duan Renli from the Sky Ghost Sect was not his opponent." Nangong Zhangshan sat on the main seat of the hall, a wry smile on his face.
"Fortunately, he is not our enemy," Luo Jun let out a long breath before he said with a complex expression.
"The theft of Celestial Palace Hall and Sutra Pavilion happened after Elder Han came to our Outcloud Peak. In hindsight, he is most probably the thief. Only at that time, it was impossible to be suspicious of him," Nangong Zhangshan said after pondering for a moment.
The big rough man nodded. It was apparent that he had arrived at the same conclusion on this matter as well.
However, he did not say much and changed the topic.
"Although Sky Ghost Sect kept silent, how could such a big commotion be concealed? Now the whole Spirit Imperial World is in an uproar. It is said that many forces that were originally affiliated with and close to the other two major sects now have the intention to come to us."
"Valley Master Yu of Fengyou Valley and Valley Master Zhao of Wuwei Valley have sent their trusted aides to talk to the sect. In fact, these people also want to take the opportunity to see Elder Han with their own eyes and confirm his strength before they can make up their minds to join us. It's a pity that Elder Han went into seclusion after returning. Grand Elder also gave orders that no one was allowed to disturb him," Nangong Zhangshan said with a smile.
Luo Jun nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
After a moment of silence, Nangong Zhangshan suddenly asked, "Elder Luo, in your opinion, how is this Elder Han?"
Luo Jun's expression changed slightly when he heard this. If it was before, he could speak his mind, but now, he did not dare to speak so carelessly.
After pondering for a while, he spoke with a grave expression.
"I have not had many interactions with Elder Han. When he was introduced to the sect by Disciple-Niece Gu, I didn't feel that this person had any special characteristics worthy of attention except for him being a powerful cultivator. Now that I think about it, I feel that he is quite thoughtful and is forensic in everything he does. However, he is not a miserly person."
"Oh, why do you think so?" asked Nangong Zhangshan, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Didn't the chief ask Elder Han to move to the cavern adjacent to Grand Elder, but he politely refused? He said that he was satisfied with his current cavern and wanted to save us the trouble. I think it might be because of his intention to repay the favor from Outcloud Peak. After all, with such a mighty figure here, the position of our peak will be greatly improved." Luo Jun explained.
"Indeed. It was Disciple-Niece Gu who introduced Elder Han into the sect and it's considered quite the achievement. We'll double the share of her cultivation resources every year in the future," Nangong Zhangshan said in deep thought when he heard the words.
"Yes," Luo Jun replied hurriedly.
